Here is a non-partisan question. Another thread mentions that there was a minimum of one near miss every month for the last 13 years. I thought that near misses were treated nearly as seriously as full blown disasters. The current administration may make it worse. But what explains the rot in the past?

One a month is not a lot if you compare it to the total number of flights. And there's different grades of near misses. Some are not all that near. The big ones like that JFK incident make the news but most don't. I don't think it's really a partisan issue either. The FAA and especially the NTSB are pretty impartial and just care about the truth, what went wrong and how this can be avoided in the future. Of course Trump makes it political by screaming DEI every time something happens, before there's even a preliminary investigation. But I wouldn't take that seriously. He does that with everything.
